Student Fundraising

What is the Lions Share Raffle?Each year we ask our students to help us raise much needed funds for the school through a student-wide fundraiser. The Lions Share Raffle will kick-off at the Fall Sports Assembly on September 25th and students will receive their ticket packets during Community Period on Friday September 29th. Each student will learn about the fundraiser and have their role explained to them. We are asking each student to sell 15 tickets at $10 each. They will have 6 weeks to sell their tickets. In order for all sold tickets to be included in the drawing, all ticket stubs and payment need to be turned in to the Development Office in Orton Hall by November 10th. Again it is the expectation that every student participates in the Lions Share Raffle.

When is the Raffle?The Lions Share Raffle runs from September 29th to November 10th. The winners of the raffle will be drawn on November 29th at the Winter Sports Assembly. If you would like to opt-out of selling please return the “Opt-out Form” along with payment in the enclosed envelope anytime during the 6 weeks. Students will have 6 weeks to sell and return all ticket stubs and payment to Orton Hall by November 10th.
